Aubergine Gallery Café

Brother and sister Stephen and Linda Devlins’ popular first floor restaurant on the main street, is up steep stairs in a smart, light-filled room. It has a lovely curved bar as the focal point as you arrive, with informal seating that allows extra space at lunchtime and is transformed into a reception area in the evening.

Lightwood tables and a variety of coloured banquettes and comfortable chairs, together with some interesting artwork, create a vibrant, youthful atmosphere.

Stephen Devlin is an accomplished chef and his menus are Irish/Mediterranean with delicious, fresh-flavoured dishes, placing an emphasis on vegetarian dishes.

The cooking here is invariably creative, and seafood is well represented too - and some things never change, so a good steak is de rigeur in these parts, as well as delicious poultry.

Friendly staff, a warm relaxed atmosphere, stylish cooking and good value explain the success of this popular restaurant – so popular indeed, that it is open for lunch every day and at weekends for dinner. Well worth a visit.
